Re:

Membership Recommendations

The Membership Committee met on Friday, September 28, 2001 to review membership
category definitions and criteria, membership retention and recruitment and dues. The
following action items are presented for discussion and approval:

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following changes in
membership criteria as endorsed by the Membership Committee and recommended
by the Community Foundation Committee where appropriate:
•

Modify the criteria for Community Foundations to reflect the current state
law for community foundations eligible for the community foundation tax
credit.

•

Redefine Community Foundation Affiliate to be limited to those
participating in the Kellogg Youth Challenge and to further revoke their
voting privileges as a CMF member.

•

Eliminate the category of Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund by
grandfathering current members and closing the category to new members.

•

Eliminate the category of "Friends" of CMF.

•

Change the language in the Out-of-State Associates criteria from " must" to
"should" have a grantmakiog presence in Michigan.

•

Amend the criteria for Public Foundations to include "have a permanent
endowment" and "make substantial grants for broad charitable purposes."

RESOLVED further that a policy be approved to terminate membership for nonresponsive members that ar·e more than two years delinquent on membership dues.
RESOLVE D further that the Membership Development Plan/Campaign for 2002,
including the goal of 578 by 200617 be approved.
RESOLVED further that minimum dues be established at a level of $500 and that
the dues categories be expanded with a dues increase to be considered by the
Finance Committee as the budgets are prepared for 2002 and beyond.

�Background
There was consensus by the Committee that we can have "Friend ofCMF" without
making it a distinct membershlp category.
Attached is the Retention Plan to deal with the current 66 delinquent members. It is
important to note that we may drop as many as 50 members by implementing the
recommended policy in 2002.
Also attached is the proposed Membership Development Plan for 2002. We look forward
to your participation. The most desirable targets for membership are the 99 Independent
and 2 15 Family foundations with assets of $1 million or more.
It costs CMF $495 to service each member. A review of existing membership dues
indicates that $500 is the common minimum. We presently have 107 members that pay
dues at the level of$150 or $360. In making the recommendation to raise the minimum
dues level to $500, we recognize that CMF may lose some of these members.

�Retention Strategies

Several membership retention strategies are recommended. By implementing these and
other strategies being developed by the Phase ll Strategic Planning Task Forces,
delinquencies can be significantly minimized and member satisfaction increased thereby
reducing the number of voluntary non-renewals. Those suggested strategies are as
follows. The status of each strategy (continue, expand, or add) is also indicated.
•

Track individual members' membership history (including records of key contacts on
status of membership, dues, etc.), participation in programs, use of services, and
purchases of reports and other products to support more personalized service.
(expand)

•

Make personal contact with each member annually to ask about their satisfaction with
CMF services and to solicit feedback about their needs. Every other year, make this
contact through a visit to the foundation's offices. (expand)

•

Send new members a welcome letter, a membership packet describing CMF
programs, products, and services available to members, invitations to serve on
committees within eight weeks of membership initiation, and, per recommendations
forthcoming from the Services Task Force, assign a "member buddy" or mentor to
new members from among active, current members in the same membership
category. (expand)

•

Feature new members in Memo to Members. (add)

•

Provide new members with a special orientation at the annual conference. (continue)

•

Contact new members at least twice during their first year of membership to highJight
services. (add)

•

Feature renewing members in publications through stories on best practices, quotes,
and special mentions on five-year membership anniversaries (I 0, 15, 20, etc.).
(expand)

•

Contact non-renewing members to encourage them to renew, and, if unsuccessful, to
determine reasons for termination. (continue)

** Additional strateg ies will be forthcoming from Strategic Planning task forces.

�Membership Development Campaign: 2002
The proposed 2002 Membership Development Plan has three steps: 1) identification of
potential members; 2) working with recruitment volunteers; and 3) staff reporting and
recruitment. These are described more fully below.

Identifying Potential Members
CMF uses reports published by the IRS and the Foundation Center to identify potential
new members. Both sources publish reports identifying newly established foundations
and providing contact and asset information for each. The IRS report is published
quarterly. The Foundation Center report is made available to CMF upon publication of
its Michigan Foundation Directory, a biennial publication.

In December of each year, CMF's Director of Membership and Special Projects conducts
research and develops a target list of potential members for distribution to the
Membership Committee and recruitment volunteers (Membership Committee and the
Board). Specific steps in the campaign are as follows:
•

January-- IRS and the Foundation Center reports reviewed to identify CMF
eligible foundations not currently members ofCMF. These include established
and newly formed family and independent foundations. Staff do targeted mailing
to eligible family foundations that includes a special invitation letter and a copy of
The Family Philanthropist newsletter.

•

February-o A chart showing all eligible candidates for membership with foundation
name, contact person, address, city, and asset information is presented to
the Membership Committee for review and discussion;
o Board members and general members are recruited as volunteers to help
with development effort;
o Volunteers select candidates they will contact from the chart discussed
above;
o Each volunteer is provided with the list of candidates s/he has offered to
contact along with a summary of prior contacts, a brief description of each
eligib le fou ndations' characteristics (type, asset size, year formed, etc.), a
timeline for making contact, and key points to discuss with potential
members;
o Membership Committee members are encouraged to recruit 3 new
members, Board members to recruit I to 2 new members, and volunteers
from the general membership to recruit I new member.

•

March/ April --The Director ofMembership &amp; Special Projects carefully monitors
the recruitment effort, contacting each recruitment volunteer to check on progress,
offer assistance, etc. Immediately following each successful invitation, the
Director follows up with a phone call and letter to the new member.

�•

May - Recruit ment volunteer work completed. Recruitment records are updated
for future recruitment (who contacted, how many times, how and what were
results-- comments, for example, "not ready, please re-contact in six months.")

For future campaigns, CMF will develop new marketing materials informed by
recommendations forthcoming from the Marketing-Communications Task Force.
The following is a sample of the format previously used to track recruitment by
membership committee volunteers. This format allows for reporting on the progress of
each volunteer, as well as each foundation.

A commwtity foundation is a ta.x..:xempt public charity organized and operated as a permanent collection of
endowed funds for the long-tcnn benefit of a dcfmed geographic area.

A supporting organization is a charity that is not required to meet the public support test because it supports a
community foundation. To be a supporting organization. a charity must meet one of three complex legal tests
that assure, at a minimum, that the organization being supported has some influence over the actions of the
supporting organization. Supporting organizations a.re distinguishable from donor advised funds because they
arc distinct legru entities.
A corporate (company-sponsored) foundation is a private foundation that derives its grantrnaking funds
pnmanly from the contributions of a profit-making business. The company-sponsored foundation often
maintains close ties with the donor company, but it is a separate, legal organization, sometimes with its own
endowment, and is subject to the same rules and re~n~lations as other private foundations.
A corporate giling (direct giving) program is a grantmaldng program established and admirtistered within a
profit-making company. Gifts or grants go directly to charitable organizations from the corporation.

A famrly foundation is one whose funds arc derived from members of a single family. Family members
represent the majority of the board, and control tlte board. Trustees usually setve on a voluntary basis,
recei1ing no compensation; in man) cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors
manage the foundation. Most family foundations concentrate their giving locally, in their communities.
Independent foundations are usually founded by one individual, often by bequest. The members from the
founding family, if any, represent a minority of the board and do not control the board. Many large
independettt foundations are no longer governed by members of the original donor's family, but are run by
boards made up of commumty. business and academic leaders. Independent foundations are oceasionally
termed •non-operating' because they do not run their own programs.
An operating foundation is a private foundation that uses the bulk of its income to provide charitable services
or to run chantable programs of its own. It makes few, if any, grants to outside organizations. To qualify as
an operating foundation, specific rules, in addition to the applicable rules for private foundations, must be
followed.

Memo To:

Dave Campbell, Chairman and Board ofTrustees

From:

Gil Hudson, Chairman, Membership Committee

Re:

Work of the Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is meeting on September 28 and has an ambitious agenda.
The following list highlights issues being tackled by the Committee, and we hope to
present many of these issues to you for discussio n and action on October 2.
•
•
•
•
•
•

To redefine Community Foundation Affiliates and revoke voting privileges,
To grandfather the current four members in the Community Foundation Donor
Advised Funds category and eliminate the category,
To adopt a Membership Development Plan for 2002, including delinquent
members and those not contributing at the recommended dues level ,
To set a membership goal of578 by 2006 targeting Independent and Family
Foundations with assets exceeding $1 million,
To agree on core member benefits, and
To discuss a dues increase for 2002, including an expansion of dues categories

Background
The chart that follows this memo summarizes all of the membership categories. The
Community Foundation Committee has recommended the actions noted above
concerning Affiliates and Donor Advised Funds.
CMF has about 65 members that are more than two years delinquent in paying dues The
Committee will be discussing strategies for renewing their membership by March 31 ,
2002 with a recommendation to drop non-responsive members as members effective
April I, 2002. At the same time, we look forward to involving all Trustees in the
Membership Development Plan for 2002. Staff is recommending to the Committee that
there are sufficient non-members above one million dollars in assets in the independent
and family foundation groups to meet the five-year goal of 578
As CMF develops its first marketing brochure, it is necessary to define core membership
benefits. Also following this memo is a list of member benefits the Committee is
discussing.
Finally, it has been six years since CMF increased member dues. Inflation has increased
by at least 18% in that time, and coupled with other economic factors, this is an issue that
needs to be discussed.

founding family, ifany, represent a minority of the board Md do not control the board. Many large
independent foundations are no longer governed by members of the original donor's fam il), but are run by
boards made up of community, business and academic leaders. Independent foundat.ions are occasionally
termed "non-operating" because they do not run their own programs.

Memo To:

C. David Campbell, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President, and Vicki Rosenberg, COO

RE:

Recommendations on Diversity &amp; Inclusion, Positioning Statement and
Strategic Plan Update

DIVERSITY &amp; INCLUSION

Introduction
At the October 2nd Special Board Meeting, Trustees engaged in a brief, but lively,
discussion about diversity and inclusion, facilitated by Bob Tobin our strategic planning
consultant. Although time did not permit a full exploration of these issues, there was
consensus about the need to strengthen CMF's commitment to these values, both in
principle and practice. To begin this process, the Board asked staff to:
•
•

Expand the definition of "diversity" presented at the meeting;
Prepare a draft value statement with implementation plan for discussion at the
October 31, 2001 Board meeting; and

The following expanded definitions are presented for your consideration.
Diversity is men and women from different nations, ethnicities, races, and
cultures, of different generations, religions, backgrounds, and sexual orientations,
and with different skills, abilities, lifestyles, and beliefs.
Inclusion: An environment where everyone has an opportunity to fully participate
and is valued for the distinctive skills, experiences, and perspectives they bring to
this environment.
Action Item
The following items are presented for discussion and approval:
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following values
statement:
We Strive for Diversity &amp; Inclusion-in our staff, our membership, our Board
and our activities. Our goal is to understand the range of philanthropic
perspectives held and traditions followed by our members and to share those
with grantmakers through our programs and publications. By diversity, we

�Diversity &amp; Inclusion
Memo to the Board of Trustees
Page 2

mean men and women of all cultures, ethnicities, lifestyles, ages, beliefs,
backgrounds, skills and abilities, races, and sexual orientations. We
encourage members to join with us by developing their own commitment to
diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan.

Based on the discussion of the above resolution, staff would move forward as follows:
•
•
•

Gather data through focus groups and interviews with selected members to
identify areas of concern, desired outcomes, and suggested actions.
Present the results of the data gathering effort to the expanded Long-Range
Planning Committee for discussion and recommendation.
Present the final action plan to the Board for review and action.

POSITIONING STATEMENT
At the October 2 Special Board Meeting, three possible positioning statements were
presented:
• Advancing Charitable Giving
• Supporting (Creating/Advancing) A Culture of Giving
• Advancing the State of Charitable Giving (Philanthropy)
Wbtm lht: vult: was lakt:n, "Supporting a Cullurt: ufGiving" haJ lht: must vutt:s but nut

from a majority of Trustees present. The discussion reminded us of our servant
leadership role, and we returned to the Marketing/Communications Task Force for more
discussion. The Committee has spent more time on this and considers "Serving Givers,
Advancing Giving" as an alternative. There is some concern, however, that using the
word givers is too similar to the United Way.
It has been recommended that the word grantmakers replace givers for the statement to

read " Serving Grantmakers, Advancing Giving." If the Board feels comfortable with
this recommendation, a motion to adopt it as the Positioning statement is in order. If not
we would recommend referring this matter back to the Marketing/Task Force for more
discussion with Bob Tobin our consultant.
STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE
At the October 2"d meeting, the Board approved expanding the Long-Range Planning
Committee (LRPC) to include its original members (Executive Cornn1ittee and Collier,
Fischer, Katt, Lindberg, and Rosenberg) plus Task Force and Committee chairs (Neeta
Delaney, Gil Hudson, Libby Maynard, and Elizabeth Sullivan), and staff (Judy Carl,
Susan Howbert, Donnell Merseareau, and Gail Powers-Schaub). The goal of this
expanded group will be to provide leadership on the integration of the Phase II
recommendations into a comprehensive plan for CMF's future. The Committee's final
recommendations will inform the work of the Marketing -Communications and
Technology Task Forces.

Memo to:

C. David Campbell, Chair and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Leonard Smith, MAF Chair
Glen Jack, MAF Executive Director

Re:

2001 Annual Report
Michigan AIDS Fund

Michigan AIDS Fund
A decade of compassion. A new era of hope.

Mission
To help reduce the spread and alleviate the suffering caused by HIV/AIDS by serving as an
intermediary support organization between philanthropy and HlV/AIDS organizations and those
affected by the epidemic in Michigan.
Board of Trustees
Leonard W. Smith, Chair
Ira Strumwasser, Vice Chair
Susan K. Broman, Treasurer
Frederick W. Bryant, Secretary
Robert S. Collier

Mary Fisher, honorary trustee

Since it was formed by a group of grantmakers in 1989, the Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF) has
distributed more than $6 million from 100 plus grantmakers in funding and resources to block the
spread ofHlV/AIDS in Michigan. It has supported programs with demonstrable success such as
peer education, outreach to runaways, homeless and incarcerated youth, and testing and
counseling for women.
MAF exceeded its fundraising goal for the year and awarded grants totaling $614,297 to 21
organizations located throughout the state. Four examples of these grants are:
$8,400 to Community AIDS Benefit Services in Kalamazoo
$ 10,000 to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in Baraga
$16,000 to Alternatives for Girls in Detroit
$17,000 to Wellness Networks- Grand Traverse Area in Traverse City
As a result of a Strategic Planning process, the Board of MAF determined that it was time for the
organization to become fully independent with its own Executive Director, aft.er ten years of
nurturing from the Greystone Group in Grand Rapids. After a search process, Glen Jack statted
on January I as Executive Director, and he opened MAF's new office in Southfield in May. The
Board bas appointed Jim Heynen, President of the Greystone Group, to a vacant seat.

�The work of the Michigan AIDS Fund continues because: there are at least 1, 100 new .infections
every year in our state; nearly 6,000 residents have died from AIDS, at least 13,000 neighbors
and friends are living with the disease in Michigan.

September 22, 200 I
Memo to:

C. David Campbell, Chair and
Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Maureen H. Smyth, Chair, CMF Nominating Committee

Re:

New Trustees for the Class of2003 and 2004

The Nominating Committee met in August and September via Conference Call to review the five vacancies
occurring in the Board of Trustees. After much discussion we have presented three outstanding individuals to
the membership for the Class of2004:
•
•
•

Betsy Upton Stover of Lansing, Associate Trustee, Frederick S Upton Foundation, St. Joseph
Sandra E. Ulsh, Vice President and Executive Director, Ford Motor Company Fund, Dearborn
Patricia Reynolds, President, Capital Region Community Foundation, Lansing

These new nominees replace Lynn Feldhouse, who has retired from the DaimlerChrylser Corporation Fund,
Neeta Delaney, who has announced that she is leaving the Jackson County Community Foundation in February,
and Maureen Smyth, Vice President- Programs, Charles Stewart Mon Foundation, who has served the full three
terms and is ineligible to continue as a trustee.
We are delighted that the following six trustees have agreed to serve again:
• C. David Campbell, President, McGregor Fund, Detroit
• Allan D. Gibnuur, President, The Gilmour fund, Detroit
• Ann K. Irish., President &amp; Trustee, The Elizabeth Kennedy Fund, Harbor Springs
• William C. Richardson, President, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek
• Olivia P. Maynard of Goodrich, Trustee, Les C heneaux Area Community Foundation, Cedarville
• S. Martin Taylor, President, DTE Energy Foundation, Detroit
There are two vacancies in the C lass of2003. James Greene from Pharmacia in Kalamazoo has indicated that
he is retiring effective October 31 ,2001 and Ralph Gerson from Guardian Industries has indicated that the pace
of his travel makes it difficult to serve. Both men have submitted resignations effective October 31 , 200 I. We
will recognize all five of these trustees at the Board Meeting on October 31 and the Annual Members Meeting
on November I.
To complete the two-year terms we are pleased to reco mmend two distinguished individuals:
•

Rober1 Aronson, Assistant to the Chairman of Guardian Industries, Auburn Hills. Bob oversees the
philanthropy of William Davidson, CMFs Annua I Conference honoree the last time we were in Detroit, and
he serves as Chief Executive Ofiicer oftl1e Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detro it.

•

J. Louis Felton, Trustee of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation s ince 1998. Reve rend Felton also serves
as Pastor o f the Galilee Missionary Baptist Church.

Assuming these recommendations meet with your approval, we would like to invite each of them to attend the
October 3 1 Board Meeting and November I Annual Meeting as our guests. Their first official Board meeting is
February 19, 2002.

Memo To:

C. David Campbell, Chairman and
Board of Trustees

From :

Vicki Rosenberg

RE:

CMF Statement on Inclusion and Diversity

At its February and May 2001 meetings, Trustees identified inclusion and diversity as
issues of high importance to CMF. Presently, diversity is addressed in only one key
CMF document, the 1997 Statement of Principles and Best Practices. (see below for the
particular statement.)
The May discussion focused on whether to include a statement on inclusion and diversity
in the first point in the Values Statement that addresses relationships. The Board agreed
that expanding that section to include language about inclusion and diversity would not
be sufficient. It asked that further discussion be held on this issue toward identifying the
best way to communicate and implement an organizational commitment to these
principles.
During the Octoher 2nd Roard meeting, Rob Tobin will facilita te a discussion on diversity
and inclusion toward developing a policy statement and effective strategies for its
implementation.

To inform that d iscussion, the following are provided for review:
•

CMF Documents: (a) 1997 Statement from CMF's Principles &amp; Best Practices
Document; and (b) relevant section from CMF's new Values Statement.

•

COF &amp; Donors Forum of Chicago policy statements on diversity and inclusion

•

Key Findings from "Building a Better Foundation: A toolkit for creating an inclusive
grantmaking organization." Donors Forum of Chicago, Minnesota Council on
Foundations, Northern California Grantmak,e rs, and New York Regional Association
of Grantmakers, 2001.

•

National Study". Joint Affinity Groups, 200 I .

CMF DOCUMENTS

Principles &amp; Practices (1997)
Draw on the full range of human talents available for board service, staff, and
consultants.

o
o

Some grantmakers have established a diversity policy to help them in considering
how to obtain the best qualified individual for each task.
Some grantmakers consider the demographics of their geographic area served when
nominating board members and selecting staff.

Values Statement (2001): Item One
We build relationships to last:
o With members first
o With the philanthropic, non-profit, private, and public sectors, and general public
second.
o Through advocating and networking.
o Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every individual engaged in
organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse group of members
in our thinking and planning.
o Our existing and future relationshlps with leaders in all sectors are buill to bring
added value to our members individually and collectively.

COF &amp; DONORS FORUM OF CIDCAGO
Policy Statements on Diversity &amp; Inclusion

DONORS FORUM OF CIDCAGO (1996)
Inclusiveness Policy
The Donors Forum of Chicago, recognizing the diversity of Chicago's population and the
value of having diverse perspectives and participation, is committed to providing equal
opportunity to all people without regard for race, color, religion, gender, age, disability,
national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or veteran status, in all aspects of its
own organizational operations.
The Donors Forum promotes inclusiveness in order to ensure that a range of perspectives,
opinions and philosophy, are an integral part of the work carried out to fulfill the
organization's mission. The Donors Forum shares the perspective that all people are
pivotal to the improvement of the quality of life and need to be participants in the
decision making process which involve issues that affect them.

COUNCIL ON FOUNDATIONS
lnclusivity Statement
The Council on Foundations was formed to promote responsible and effective
philanthropy. The mission requires a commitment to inclusiveness as a fundamental
operating principle and calls for an active and ongoing process that affums human
diversity in its many forms, encompassing but not Jjmited to ethnicity, race, gender,
sexual orientation, economic circumstance, disability and philosophy.
We seek diversity in order to ensure that a range of perspectives, opinions and
experiences are recognjzed and acted upon in achieving the Council's mission. The
Council also asks members to make a similar commitment to inclusiveness in order to
better enhance their abilities to contribute to the common good of our changing society.
Management Support and Resources
The Council provides technical assistance, information and resources to assist members
in making their organizations better able to address the needs of the diverse society in
which we live.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM

"Diversity Practices in Foundations: Findings from a National Study"
Joint Affinity Group, 2001

Include a commitment to diversity in key statements. Develop or refer to written
materials that communicate diversity objectives. Committed organizations articulate the
importance of diversity through their insitution' s mission, vision, values... Statements
and organizational policies that reflect the centrality of diversity, formalize institutional
commitment and establish a standard of accountability."
Implement the Policy with these steps in mind:
•

Inform board and trustees about the value of diversity;

•

Undergo or provide traitllng to board, management, staff to increase understanding
and improve communications at the outset of any diversity initiative.

•

Plan, dedicate needed resources, and evaluate progress as diversifying takes time,
energy, and perseverance.

•

Gatht:r data through focus groups, surveys, and/or diversity audits to assess your
organization' s diversity climate, and to identify areas of concern and desired
outcomes.

•

Establish clearly defined internal goals, responsibilities and accountability
mechanisms to design the initiative and identify professionals required.

•

Hire consultants, if expert and impartial help is needed.

•

Anticipate some failures, internal resistance, and departures and be willing to change
systems and remove institutional barriers if necessary.

SAMPLE DIVERSITY STATEMENTS
FROM ASSOCIATIONS &amp; CORPORATIONS

AMERICAN ZOO AND AQUARIUM ASSOCIATION

Diversity Statement
AZA recognizes and embraces the values of human diversity. We accept the moral and
practical imperatives of our changing society, as well as the impacts of these changes on
our personal and professional lives. We value and seek the strengths of human variety
with respect to age, culture, gender, national origin, personal values and beliefs, physical
abilities, race, religion and sexual orientation. In principle and in practice, AZA will
commit time and resources to increasing diversity of our workforce. To serve our
member institutions, AZA will assemble and provide resources on diversity programs,
trends and issues. This statement applies to the Association's offices and its employees.
It acknowledges that Association members may have their own statements or policies. It
also acknowledges that a Diversity Special Committee has been established that will
address diversity issues for the Association and its members

�45

AUSTIN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Mission
To provide programs and resources that promote diversity as a strategic component in the
individual and organizational success of Austin Human Resource Management
Association members (AHRMA).
Objective
To reflect the greater Austin community in membership demographics, program topics
and issues, community involvement, and broader sponsorship. We plan to do this by:
Increasing the diversity of AHRMA membership within currently underrepresented
groups through active recruitment; Disseminating information about and promoting the
use of Historically Underutilized Businesses among AI-IRMA members; Supporting
community events which facilitate selection, development and retention of a diverse
workforce; Sharing practical information from local business leaders who have a visible
commitment to diversity in the workplace.
Strategy
Our strategy is to position diversity as a component critical to our individual and
organizational success as human resource professionals by:
a.

Acknowledging diversity as part of everything we do as opposed to a "stand
alone" or "something extra" that we'll do if we have time. This means that
diversity must be reflected in the philosophy, policies and practices of AHRMA
as well as communicated through local best practices.

b.

Providing members with tangible skills and competencies in managing and
maximizing diversity. This means information communicated to members
through newsletters, programs, conferences must have a high "practical
application quotient."

c.

Connecting diversity to bottom line performance measures that all members can
identify, understand and commit to

Memo to:

Dave Campbell, Chair, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier

Re:

President's Report

Because my last Report was sent to you on July 31, with the Audit Report, this Report
features activities s ince August 1. Please let me know if you have any questions about
any of these items .
All of your staff at CMF greatly appreciate the extra time contributed by Trustees and
more than 50 members to the Task Forces and Committee Meetings held as part of our
Strategic Planning Process. As we all learned at the Special Board Meeting on October
2, much progress has been made and continues to be made on the Strategic Plan.

Response to September 11
CMF sent out a special resource sheet to all members on September 14. In addition, we
surveyed members and have created a September 11 response section on the cmif.org
website. A copy of this section is included at the back of your Board book. In response
to a call from State Education Superintendent Tom Watkins, Kathy Agard and her team
at Learning to Give pulled together six lesson plans that have now been disseminated
statewide by Tom's office. The lessons focus on giving in a time of crisis as well as
recognizing the diversity of our state population. We continue to provide individual
assistance to members in planning their individual responses to the tragedies of
September 11.
Conferences and Meetings
August 22-23 Grantmaking Basics. Ypsilanti
Thirty-eight staff from a diversity of members participated in this Grantmaking Basics
seminar that took the place of what we used to call the Institute for New Trustees and
Staff. We appreciated the efforts of a fine guest faculty, including John Marshall who Jed
the discussion on Principles and Best Practices.
September 13 - Michigan Municipal League, Battle Creek
Three community foundation grantmakers joined me for a session with 75 city and
village officials at the League's Annual Conference. We hope this session will strengthen
partnerships between community foundations and municipal officials.
September 13- Alliance of United Way Community Services Executives Retreat - Port
Huron

�President's Report
October 200 I

Jeri Fischer represented CMF on a panel to discuss state trends and their impact on
philanthropy before this group of Agency Executives from southeast Michigan.

�President's Report
October 200 I

September 19 -Michigan IDA Partnership State Conference
More than 140 practitioners from the 30 program sites and three regional coordinating
organizations were joined by a small group of funders for the first ever IDA Conference
in Michigan. The Partnership has now funded 580 accounts through the program sites,
and I am working with interested members to raise the needed $4 million private match.
Executive Director, Eric Muschler was invited to participate in a national meeting held by
the Annie E. Casey Foundation on Federal Funding for the Savings for Working Families
Act.
September 28-30 Family Foundation Retreat
Our thanks to Julie Cummings and Susan Howbert for producing a remarkable Family
Foundation Retreat. The 75 plus participants and their children remarked on the special
family feeling that was conveyed by the faculty and the setting at Crystal Mountain.

Publications

In August you should have received the summer issue of The Michigan Scene as well as
the CMF 2001 Annual Report. Three new publications (Copies in the back of your
Trustee book) have been completed in September.

Make A Difference
Produced by our Mawby Sununer Intern, Kari Pardoe, this colorful, six page tri-fold
responds to the many requests received for an orientation piece for new youth
grantmakers. Each of the 86 community foundation youth advisory committees in

Michigan has received 10 copies for use with their fall recruitment of new Y AC
members. The publication will also be posted on the youth grantmakers website
www.mcfyp.org for use by interested groups outside of Michigan.

Youth Grantmakers Contribute to Community Foundation Growth
This four-page brochure by Karin Tice, our community foundation evaluator, responds to
the many requests received from conununity foundations nationally about the role that
youth grantmakers have played in helping with the fund development of Michigan
community foundations. Copies were recently distributed at the Council on Foundations
Annual Community Foundations Conference in Vancouver. This brochure will also be
on the www.mcfyp.org website.
Standards For Community Foundations: Challenges and Lessons Learned
This eight-page publication, also by Karin Tice with contributions by Dottie Reynolds,
our range rider for three years, was a highlight of the Community Foundations
Conference in Vancouver earlier this month. As community foundations nationwide
begin the process of being in compliance with standards set forth by the Council on
Foundations, they are eager to learn from our experiences in Michigan. As with the
previous publication, production is possible thanks to special support from the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation. This document is located on the CMF website at www.cmif.org.

�President's Report
October 200 I

Community Foundations as Environmental Stewards
In addition, Mark Ducker, a filmmaker from Lansing completed production on the 11
minute video Community Foundations as Environmental Stewards. Produced with
support from the Great Lakes Protection Fund, this video tells the story of the
Community foundation for Muskegon County in becoming a successful environmental
grantmaker. Copies of the video are being provided to every community foundation in
the USA and Canada as well as placed on the CMF website and the Great Lakes
Environmental Network website. It is hoped that the video will motivate community
foundations to use their convening and grantmaking abilities to attract new donors
interested in supporting environmental grantmaking.
Also following this report is the article on Learning to Give featured in the August issue
of Association Management.
Partnerships &amp; Dissemination

Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative - Phase III

indicated that he knows of no other state where grantmakers are bringing their grantees
together for such a dialogue.

�President's Report
October 200 I

October 8 - 9 - Devolution Seminar - Lansing
With special grant support from the Skillman Foundation, and the help of Pat Babcock

grant support from the C.S. Mott Foundation, two international delegations arrived for
intensive site visits on community philanthropy. Four guests from Mexico used Ann

broadly marketed during the pilot because there is not sufficient staff capacity to respond.
It was noted that the Membership Committee will be consulted on fees.
Upon motion duly made, supported!, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that a pilot program be approved to charge members fees for
individualized technical services on board training, grantmaking guidelines
and program d evelopment, strategic planning, exec.utive searches, and other

services with guidelines for setting fees to be developed with input from the
Finance Committee.
Campbell also noted the role that CMF plays in helping to create foundations and that it
cannot be taken for granted that a new foundation will become a member.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the provision of the following services to eligible nonmembers be offered as an enticement to membership:
a) complimentary consultation on foundation establishment, limited
to providing a "how to" guide and verbal orientation.
b) If requested, foundation establishment services for a fee with a
membership dues rebate possible upon joining CMF.
Finally, Campbell noted the Task Force's discussion of individual services being
provided to grantseekers and members strong feeling that such requests should not
include individual searches but be limited to copies of the complimentary "Survey and
biformationfor Seeking" publication and a referral to one of the Foundation Center
Cooperating Collections.
RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees approves the elimination of any
individualized service to grantseekers beyond the current "Survey and
Information for Seeking" now used.

Marketing/Communications Task Force

Task Force Chair Neeta Delaney explained the initial work of the Task Force in
reviewing all of the many publications produced by CMF and the recommendation that
the current logo and positioning statement be updated, given the growing competitive
marketplace for philanthropic membership associations. She introduced Karl Olmsted of
Olmsted Associates in Flint whose fim1 has done award winning work for the C.S. Mott
Foundation, and has been retained to assist with these tasks. Olmsted presented three
options for a revised logo and three options for a new positioning statement. He also
introduced four color palettes - the existing light b lue, a royal blue, a blue green and a
light green. During lunch, the Trustees had the opportunity to vote on their first choices.
Ms. Delaney noted that there was consensus on the logo and color palette.

Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that an updated logo and color (as attached to these minutes) be
adopted for use beginning at the 29th Annual Conference.
Ms. Delaney then led a discussion with Mr. Tobin's help about the role of the positioning
statement. There was consensus by the Board that such a statement had to recognize the
organization's role as a support to both foundations and corporations. A vote was held on
the three statements w ith the most votes, but not a majority of those present, for
"Supporting a Culture of Giving'' Mr. Campbell indicated that the feelings of the Board
would be shared with the Task Force with the hope of still having a new positioning
statement to share at the Annual Members Meeting on November 1, 2001.

Membership C ommittee

Conm1ittee Chair Gil Hudson shared the results of the Membership Committee Meeting,
and the four proposed resolutions for consideration. He noted that the Committee was
still working on a number of issues, including those members that do not pay the
recommended dues amount. He reviewed each of the membership categories before
introducing a resolution to amend four categories and eliminate two as noted below.

Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the following changes
in membership criteria as endorsed by the Membership Committee and
recommended by the Community Foundation Committee where
appropriate:
•

Modify the criteria for Community Foundations to reflect the current
state law for community foundations eligible for the community
foundation tax credit.

�CMF Board of Trustees
Minutes of October 2, 2001

•

Redefine Community Foundation Affiliate to be limited to those
participating in the Kellogg Youth Challenge and to further revoke their
voting privileges as a CMF member.

•

Eliminate the category of Community Foundation Donor Advised Fund
by grandfathering current members and closing the category to new
members.

•

Eliminate the category of "Friends" of CMF.

•

Change the language in the Out-of-State Associates criteria from "must"
to "should" have a grantmaking presence in Michigan.

•

Amend the criteria for Public Foundations to include "have a permanent
endowment" and "make substantial grants for broad charitable
purposes."

Mr. Hudson reviewed the status of 66 members that are now more than two years
delinquent in paying dues, noting that despite best efforts to have their memberships
renewed by the end of the fiscal year on April! , 2002, up to 50 members could be lost.
He indicated the Committee's recommendation to terminate the membership of those two
years behind as of April 1, 2002 and that the Board adopt such a tennination policy.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED further that a policy be approved to terminate membership for
non-responsive members that are more than two years delinquent on
membership dues.
Mr. Hudson summarized the Committee's Membership Retention Plan and Development
Plan for 2002 (attached to these minutes) with a five-year goal of 578 by 200617. He
explained that the goal had been well crafted with staff and reflects projected
membership gains and losses including the anticipated loss of 50 non-dues paying
members. Trustees can look forward to being asked at the February 2002 Meeting to
assist with membership recruitment in 2002.
Upon motion duly made, supported, and unanimously approved, it was
RESOLVED further that the Membership Development Plan/Campaign for
2002, including the goal of 578 by 2006/7 be approved.
Mr. Collier then introduced a three-part resolution from the Membership Committee. He

noted that there was consensus by the Committee that our two lowest dues categories of
$ 150 and $360 paid by 107 members are too low, and that the minimum dues should be
raised to $500. In addition, there was consensus that the dues categories should be
examined with the idea of reducing the ranges in the categories to better capture the
growth in assets that will occur over time by members. Finally, there was agreement by

�CMF Board of Trustees
Minutes of October 2, 2001
Page 7

the Committee that the Finance Committee should examine a dues increase as projected
budgets are developed for 2002 and beyond. After discussion on these three points, the
Board decided to defer action for further analysis by the Finance Committee.
Policy on Inclusion

Mr. Tobin and Ms. Rosenberg facilitated a brief discussion on a statement on inclusion
for CMF to adopt as part of the Strategic Planning Process. In reviewing six sample
components, there was consensus that a policy statement needed to be action oriented and
that inclusion needs to be better reflected in CMF's values statement. The item was
referred for further discussion at the next Board Meeting.
Next Steps
Mr. Campbell indicated that because there was not sufficient time, we would defer

discussion of the October 2000 Guiding Questions and the vision metrics to the next
meeting. He noted the inclusion of the fall calendar for Next Steps in the Board book and
that he plans on asking Task Force and Committee Chairs in 2002 to join with the
members of the Executive Conunittee in expanding the Strategic Planning Committee
into an ongoing Long Range Planning Committee.
The next scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees will be held October 31, 2001, at
the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Detroit from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There being no
further business to come before the board, Chair, C. David Campbell adjourned the
meeting at 3:00p.m.

C. David Campbell, Chair

Re:

Measuring Our Progress: Now and in the Future

CMF's Strategic Planning process has been guided by questions developed by the Board
at its October 2000 meeting. Measuring our progress against answering these questions
is an important step in completing Phase n of our process.
Once CMF begins implementing the 2002-2006 Strategic Plan, it wiU important to
measure progress in meeting the goals set out in that Plan. The Vision Metrics that
constitute an important component of the Plan have been in draft form since winter
2000/01.

Therefore, during the October 2, meeting, Bob Tobin will guide t he Board through a
discussion about:
•
•

Our progress in successfully addressing the Board's October 2000 Guiding
Questions; and
T he draft Vision Metrics and changes needed to more closely tie those to t he
evolving Stra tegic Pla n.

To inform our discussion, the following background materials are provided:
• The Board's Guiding Questions
• The current draft Vision Metrics
• Board and Member Desires &amp; Aspirations for CMF
• Opportunities identified through the SWOT Analysis

G uiding Questions: October 2000
I.

membership?

4. How do we define and manage our evolving role as an intermediary?
5. How do we resolve tensions between our dual roles of membership service and
philanthropic leader?
6. What is our hierarchy of roles and initiatives relative to our mission?
7. What metrics are most important to us as we look into the future?

May 11, 2001 Board Meeting
At the May 11,2001 Board meeting, staff provided Trustees with a summary of the
results of the May 10, 2001 Board session. In addition, a plan for Phase II of the
Strategic Planning process was presented and approved. That plan called for the creation
of special task forces and expanded Committees to be led by Board members, comprised
of a representative mix of members, and supported by staff. Their charge would be to
develop promising strategies and tactics in six key areas through a highly inclusive,
participatory process.
By late June, the Task Forces and Committees were fooned. They are generously served
by 54 members, 15 Trustees, and Bob Tobin who is a member of the MarketingCommunications Task Force. In addition, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Kresge
Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Fooodation generously agreed to serve as coconveners of the Technology Task Force. For your information we have included the
Task Force and Committee Rosters and a calendar of Task Force and Committee
meetings.
In May and June, CMF staff consolidated all aspects of the Strategic Plan to define and
articulate the purpose, scope of work, goals, and timelines for each Task Force and
Committee. An orientation document was provided to Chairs who were convened via
conference call to develop a common vision for moving forward with Phase II. 'In
addition, staff examined the six areas to be covered by the Task Forces and Committees
as step one in the process of preparing Briefing Papers that have been provided to each
group to inform and guide their work. Finally, CMF management met with the
Technology Task Force co-conveners to review organizational goals and priorities.

In July, August and September, Task Forces and Committees met in person and via
conference call to begin developing recommendations. Most groups have met twice.
The Technology Task Force had its first orientation conference call in September. The
Membership Committee will have its first all-day meeting on September 28lh.
An overview of the six Task Forces and Committees. their chairs and goals follows.

Long Range Plannin g Committee
Involving a broad spectrum ofCMF members and Trustees in the development of
guidelines. policies, strategies, and tactics for the 2002-2006 Strategic Plan has proven to
be a very successful strategy. Trustees who chair the Task Forces and Comm ittees have
provided invaluable guidance and direction to CMF staff. Members and Trustees serving

�51

as members of these groups have provided hig hly informed input on ways in which CMF
can increase its value to members and achieve its mission and newly articulated vision.
To complete this process, CMF wishes to maximize the added value of Trustee leadership
by expanding the current Long-Range Planning Committee to include Trustees serving as
chairs of Phase 1I Task Forces and Committees and select CMF staff who have served as
lead staff for these groups.
The expanded Committee would meet in late fall to look at all of the recommendations
that will be forthcoming from the Task Forces on Education/Networking, MarketingCommunications, and Services and from Committees on Government Relations and
Membership. Its goal will be to provide leadership on the integration of these
recommendations into a comprehensive plan for CMF's future. The Committee's fmal
recommendations wilJ inform the Technology Task Force.
Phase ll Task Forces &amp; Committees
Following the October 2, 200 I Board meeting, CMF staff. guided b) Phase II Task
Forces and Committees, will complete their recommendations as articulated in the
Strategic Planning Update found under Tab One.

�Values Statements

We Build Relationships to Last - with our members first- and with the philanthropic,
non-profit, private, and public sectors, and the general public second - through
advocating and networking. Our goal is to know every member well, to represent every
individual engaged in organized, Michigan-based philanthropy, and to include a diverse
group of members in our thinking and planning. Our existing and future relationships
with leaders in all sectors are built to bring added value to our members individually and
collective!y.
We Act as A Servant-Leader for organized philanthropy - by promoting and increasing
philanthropy in Michigan. We serve by understanding and meeting members' individual
needs. We lead by anticipating and then meeting members' collective needs. In this role,
we espouse the highest ethical standards. Our success is measured by the health and
vitality of organized philanthropy in Michigan and by the level of civil society in our
state- now and in the future.
We Have, Share, and Seek Knowledge - with members and in support of membersthrough education and networking. Our knowledge is personjfied by staffwith deep
expertise in philanthropic principles and best practices worldwide - from the technical to
the topical to the philosophical, and with skills in research and communications; by
members who continually redefine best practices and represent expertise in a vast array of
subjects and on a wide range of issues; and by partners and collaborators who enrich our
understanding oft he needs for and impact of organized philanthropy.
We Strive for Excellence io Everything We Do - through a strong infrastructure-- clear
goals, strong leadership, expert staff and effective management systems - that enable us
to be nimble, entrepreneurial, and good stewards of our resources. These qualities allow
us to provide our members with the best, most comprehensive services available to
organized philanthropy anywhere. We believe to achieve excellence requires CMF as a
who le-- each staff member and the Board of Trustees -- to reflect, innovate,
communicate, grow, and improve. Our goal is to have all members recognize CMF as
the most valuable association to which they belong.

Elizabeth Sullivan, Chair, Education &amp; Networking Task Force

RE:

Recommended Action Item

The Education and Networking Task Force has had two productive meetings and
approved at its September 6, 2001 meeting the following action item for discussion and
approval:
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve a Core Curriculum for 2002
that will cover five key competency areas (governance, fmance, administration,
grantmaking, and communications) and up to three issue areas of high concern to
members.
Background
The Education and Networking Task Force endorses the creation of a regular series of
educational programs that address the five competency areas of governance, finance,
administration, grantrnaking and communication. The Committee has developed the
following criteria for offering these programs:
•
•
•
•
•

Is designed for members first, non-member grantrnakers second
Is offered at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels
Is offered on a three-year cycle (some programs multiple times during that period,
others only once)
Is delivered in a variety of live and electronic formats
Is offered by CMF, by CMF in partnership with others, or under CMF
sponsorship.

In addition, the Committee feels it is important to enhance the five core competency areas
through special programs for targeted audiences (by role, foundation type, issue). Such
programming will include up to three programs on high priority issues of concern to
members that are developed in consultation with the Public Policy Committee.
The Committee has created the following list of high priority issues of concern and will
ask CMF members to prioritize these issues at the Annual Conference and on-line
following the Conference. Where appropriate CMF will partner with national affmity
groups of grantmakers to produce these issue focused educational programs.

�28

K-12 Education
Access to Health Care
Elderly/Elder Care
Crime/Corrections
Workforce Preparation
Digital Divide
Sprawl/Land use (environment)
Child Care
Youth
Violence Prevention
Diversity
Organizational Effectiveness ofNPO Sector
Civil Society/Community Building
Families &amp; Society
Finally, the Committee has developed the following Decision-Making Criteria to assist
staff in responding to requests for educational programming.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Is the program consistent with both CMF's mission and purposes?
Does the program have broad appeal to the general membership or to a targeted
segment of the membership?
Does the curriculum represent current best practices and new research findings?
Will the program challenge the membership to do bener?
Is there a compelling need or opportunity to justify the program?
Is CMF's involvement imperative to the success of the program?
Does CMF have the capacity to develop and deliver the program (time, staff,
knowledge, funds, etc.)?
Does the program present an opportunity to partner and/or collaborate?
Does the program offer CMF a fund development opportunity?
Will CMF's involvement in the program impact its role in the community as a
neutral (non-partisan) convener?
Does the program present an opportunity to attract diverse audiences?
Does the program have any implications for public policy?
How will program costs be covered (dues, registration fees, grants, other)?
If a member is asking CMF to prepare and present the program, is that member
able to contribute to some or all of its costs?

RE:

Technology Task Force Recommendations

The Technology Task Force co-conveners (Tim Dechant, Director of Technology, W.K.
Kellogg Foundation; Richard Lowell Dunlap, Program Officer-Iofonnation Systems,
K resge Foundation; Gavin Clabaugh Vice President and Dick Rappleye, Vice President,
Charles Stewart Mott Foundation) have had several productive meetings together and
with CMF management and are proposing the following action item for discussion and
approval:

RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve piloting "Rapid Response
·
System" in 2002 to obtain member feedback on time sensitive issues.
Backgrow1d
The TeclmoJogy Task Force was formed in summer 200 I and is being co-convened by
theW.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mon
Foundation. Lead CMF staff for the Task Force is Gail Powers-Scbaub, Information
Services Manager.
The co-conveners have met several times with Ms. Powers-Schaub to develop a Briefing
Paper that has been shared with the !!-member Task Force. On September II , 2001 , the
Task Force met via conference call to discuss the Briefing Paper, its goals and timeline,
and next steps. Prior to that meeting, the co-conveners met with CMF management to
review immediate priorities for the Annual Members Meeting at the Annual Conference
related that could be met with technology.
The rapid response system that is being recommended is call Zoomerang and will allow
CMF to obtain instant feedback from members, with the ability to target specific
constituencies. Zoom erang is a division of MarketTools, the global dominant ASP for
eResearc h and efeedback. The company provides advanced Web-hosted technology a nd
advisory services to help businesses conduct cost-effective and secure Web-based market
research. The results are captured and presented in graphically-rich formats in real-timewhich allows users to measure incoming responses and act on the findings very quickly.

�30

We hope to demonstrate this electronic system at the Annual Conference through inviting
members to vote on the Priority Issues discussed in the Education-Networking Task
Force Report. The cost for Zoomerang is $500 for the first 1,000 survey responses with
$500 for each additional 1,000 responses. We anticipate using the service four times in
2002 for budget of$2,000. Our first use of the services will be covered in this current
budget. This Rapid Response System will allow members to have input into future
directions related to CMF's Leadership purpose, specifically, opportunities to serve as an
intermediary and priorities for issues facing Michigan that are of interest and concern to
m embers.
The Technology Task Force's work will commence in full upon completion of
recommendations by the other Committees and Task Forces. It's goals are to develop
recommendations in three areas:
• A long-term technology plan for CMF
• A process for on-going review/revision of CMF technology platform
• Use of technology for specific programs, products, services, (drawing on
recommendations from other task forces)
Among the many areas the Task Force will address are two that have been identified by
other Task Forces and CMF management. They are: ( I) electronic delivery systems for
education programs to respond to members' expressed desire for on-demand access to
information, resources, and educational opportunities; and (2) a restructuring of the CMF
website to increase its value to members.

Dave Campbell, Chairman, Services Task Force

Re:

Recommended Action Items

The Services Task Force has had two highly productive meetings and approved at its
September 13, 200 l meeting the following action items for cliscussion and approval:
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve a pilot program to charge
members fees for individualized technical services on board training, grantmaking
guidelines and program development, strategic planning, executive searches, and
other services with guidelines for setting fees to be developed with input from the
Finance Committee.
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the provision of the following
services to eligible non-members as an enticement to membership:
(a) One complimentary consultation on foundation establishment, Limited to
providing a "how to" guide and verbal orientation.
(b) If requested, foundation establishment services for a fee with a membership
dues rebate possible upon joining CMF.
RESOLVED that the CMF Board of Trustees approve the elimination of any
individualized service to grantseekers beyond tbe current "Survey and Information
for Seeking" now used.
Background
The Services Task Force was formed in summer 2001 and is served by 12 CMF members
including 4 members of its Board ofTrustees. Lead CMF staff for this Task Force is
Susan Howbert, Director, Family Philanthropy Services and Southeast Michigan
Program.
The Task Force met on August l, 2001 for a full -day meeting where it developed several
recommendations regarding services CMF might provide to members, eligible nonmembers, grantseekers and others. There was consensus that CMF should establish a fee
system for inclividualized technical assistance requested by members. For example, one
executive search has recently been completed and another is under development. There
was also agreement that CMF should not widely advertise these services in this pilot
stage.

�32

There was consensus on the part of the Task Force that CMF should provide a free
consultation for those interested in starting a foundation. However, a fee should be
charged if services requested include sample documents and individualized assistance.
There was agreement that CMF should not provide free services to non-members in the
hope that the new fo undation might become a member.
Finally, the Task Force discussed individual services to grantseekers, who are often
referred to CMF by members. There was consensus that beyond an updated version of
the current publication currently produced, CMF should not use staff time to undertake
searches for grantseekers. It is appropriate to refer these individuals to the Foundation
Center Cooperating Collections throughout the State. CMF will continue to assist with
group presentations to grantseekers, such as The Conversations With Program.
In addition to the resolutions proposed above, the Task Force recommends that CMF do
the following to support the pilot fee-based services program effective 2002.
•

Develop a series of high quality "How To" guides on topics such as mission,
guidelines and program development, legal and accounting information, web site
development, sample documents, and governance. The guides would be made
available to members for free as a benefit of membership. They would be made
available to non-members for a fee as a way of marketing CMF's expertise. ·

•

Develop a high quality membership recruitment packet for use at first contact with
start-ups and eligible non-members. This packet could include a guide to foundation
establishment and several other items that would communicate the knowledge CMF
has and shares with its members to strengthen their work.

•

Design and conduct market research via focus groups or other strategies to identify
ways CMF can effectively serve advisors to the wealthy on a fee basis. Creating
stronger relationships with advisors, educating them about philanthropy, and
providing them with technical support in select areas are important to fulfilling
CMF's purpose of increasing philanthropy in Michigan.

From:

Neeta Delaney, Chair, Communications and Marketing Task Force

Re:

Recommended Action Items

The Communications and Marketing Task Force has had two meetings. Our initial efforts have focused
on a review of CMF's logo and positioning statement as well as a careful analysis of CMF's core
publications and website.
While we recognize that our marketing activities, such as developing CMF's first marketing brochure,
will occur after the work of the other Task Forces is complete,
we feel that it is important to take advantage of the Annual Members Meeting on November I st. T he
following action item is therefore presented for your consideration.
RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations approve a new logo and positioning
statement for usc at the 291h Annual Conference a nd introduction to the Members at the Annual
Members Meeting on November 1, 2001.
Background
The CMF logo has been in use for the last 15 years. There is consensus on the part of the Task Force
that it needs to be updated with a contemporary look. A review of the complexity of the logo indicated
that some members do not recognize the map of the state that is in the current logo design. There was
consensus that the logo should continue to use the emf letters because of name recognition, but that the
logo should also have the full name of the organization attached. CMF has retained the award-winning
firm of Olmsted Associates that works for the C.S. Mott Foundation to assist with this process. We look
forward to sharing three possible logos for your review and action at the m eeting.
CMF has never had a positioning statement- a short statement that captures the essence of what we do.
For years, we have had the following statement at the bottom of the letterhead- "An Association of
Foundations and Corporations Making Grants for C haritable Purposes." It is interesting to note that
several members of our Task Force have never recognized this statement. There is consensus by the
Task Force that we need an action oriented positioning statement that better captures what we do.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Richard K. Rappleye, Chair Audit &amp; Finance Committee

RE:

CMF 2002-03 Budget

Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the Council of Michigan
Foundations' 2002-03 budget as recommended by the Audit &amp; Finance and Executive
Committees.
After an extensive strategic planning process, management is pleased to present the attached
budget for fiscal year 2002-03 (April I, 2002 to March 31, 2003). The Audit &amp; Finance
Committee approved the 2002-03 budget on January 17, 2002, with approval from the
Executive Committee coming on January 22, 2002. Before reviewing the attached detailed
budget management would like to highlight several issues that were examined during the
budgeting process.

Cost Containment Measures

In looking at the next five years management has taken several steps to contain costs and in
some cases reduce costs in the coming year, total estimated savings of $ 130,000.
•
•
•

•

A position for an additional support person in Grand Haven that was budgeted in the
current year will not be fill ed.
The drug card and office co-pay has been increased resulting in an annual savings of
$20,000 for 2002-03.
With the recent resignation of the Assistant VP for Corporate &amp; Educational Services,
staff assignments have been restructured, along with the addition of an assistant in the
Southeast Michigan office. These changes will result in a net savings of
approximately $28,000 per year.
The full-time community foundation Youth Project Coordinator position is currently
being restructured to a consulting position, with a cost savings of $50,000 per year.

CMF Dues Structure
After several meetings with the Strategic Planning Task Force, Membership Task Force and
Audit &amp; Finance Committee, management is proposing that adjustments in the current dues
structure be delayed until fiscal year 2003-04 .
In fiscal year 2003-04 management is proposing to expand the current dues categories from
15 to 21 and with an across the board 20% increase.

Revenue Generation Options

Based on input from the Strategic Planning Marketing and Membership Task Forces a list of
fees for services has been developed to identify those services that are not considered part of
regular membership dues. For fiscal year 2002-03 $15,000 has been budgeted as new
revenue for member staff searches and board retreats.
The Marketing task force has also recommended selling advertising space in some of the
CMF publications. $8,000 in advertising income has been budgeted for the Michigan Scene.
Southeast Michigan Office

Thanks to the generation contributions from Hudson-Webber, McGregor and the Skillman
Foundations, CMF was able to establish a southeast Michigan Office in September of 1997.
For the past 3 Y2 years this office has been housed at the Skillman Foundation. Anticipated
growth of Skillman's staff has resulted in the search for a new location to house this office.
After exploring all the options with the CMF Audit &amp; Finance Committee and CMF Chair,
the most cost effective solution was to locate a small office at 333 West Fort Street. Funding
for this office in the past came from two sources, the first being the three funders mentioned
above and the second being CMF Core operations that funded the Director's position for this
office.
For 2002-03 and 2003-04 funding to support the operations of this office will come from
excess administration dollars earned from special projects, primarily the Tobacco Settlement
grant from the State of Michigan. Future years will be supported by the dues increase
budgeted for 2003-04. Annual operating costs for this office are budgeted at $60,000 for
2002-03.
Strategic Development Fund

Most of the new services developed during the strategic planning process will be covered by
the budgeted dues increase scheduled for 2003-04. At this point, technology appears to be
the main area where special funding will be required to complete the recommendations in the
strategic plan. The Technology Task Force has started to analyze the recommendations that
have surfaced from the other Task Forces, with the goal of finalizing a long-range technology
plan by June 2002. Currently the following special funding items are anticipated, with final
numbers anticipated by June 2002.

As you review the CMF Core Operations budget you will note that total expenses are
projected to increase by $362,000 with a corr,e sponding increase in revenue to cover those
costs. This is due to the following reasons:
CMF Annual Conference Returning to previous year's attendance levels
Expanded programming for members
Expenses to produce the 13u' Edition of Michigan Foundations Directory
Additional operating expenses for the new Southeast Michigan Office

Core Operations
Revenue
Note 1: Member Contributions
In budgeting dues for 2002-03, member assets have been projected to decrease by 8% for the

year ending 12-31-01. This projection is based the DOW being down 7.10% and the S&amp;P
500 being down 13.04%, for the year ending 12-31-01.
The increase from the prior year is due to new members budgeted for 2002-03.
Note 2: Additional Member Contributions
Additional member contributions are anticipated to increase slightly to the levels experienced
in previous years.
Note 3: Other Grants
Thanks to the generous contributions from the Hudson-Webber Foundation, The Skillman
Foundation and McGregor Fund, CMF established a Southeast Michigan office in September
1997. During this time period CMF has provided funding for the staffing of this office
through general membership contributions. The three funders mentioned above provided
office space, along with general operating support. Fiscal year 2002-03 will be a transition
period as CMF starts to absorb the costs for this office in its Core Services budget. This
transition will involve the relocating this office from The Skillman Foundation, to 333 West
Fort Street, Detroit, in Janumy 2002.

In order to absorb the operating costs of this office that have been supported by special
grants, CMF will use surplus personnel/administrative dollars earned from special projects.

Management is anticipating we will have one more year of these surplus dollars to support
the operating costs of the Southeast Michigan office. A projected dues increase in 2003-04
will complete the transition of member dues fu lly supporting the cost of this office, that will
provide services to both Family Foundations and Corporate Foundations and Corporate
Giving Programs around the state.
Note 4: Conference &amp; Meetings

$80,000 of the increase from the prior year is due to the anticipation of attendance at the
annual conference increasing to 800 from the 700 that attended the conference in Detroit.
Part of the long-term funding plan for CMF is to bring the annual conference registration fees
in line with other conferences of similar size. The first year of the two-year phase in period,
calls for raising full registration fees from $450 to $525, raising an additional $50,000 in
revenue, with the second year (2003-04) increasing another $75 to $600.
The remaining increase is due to the following educational opportunities that are new for
2002-03 or have been expanded from previous years.

Memo to:

C. David Campbell, Chainnan, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Kari Schlachtenhaufen and Libby Maynard, Co-Chairs
30th Annual Conference Program Committee

Re:

301h A nnual Conference Update

Plans are well underway for the 30th Annual Conference on Mackinac Island. The
Conference will start on Sunday, September 29, and end Tuesday, October 1.
Networking lunches will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. The Board
Meeting will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
We have asked for permission to have the opening reception at the Governor's Residence
from 5:00 to 6:30p.m. We have also invited the Governor and First Lady to join us at
the Conference to receive a special tribute from Michigan grantmakers for all they have
done to promote giving and volunteering in our state.
In discussing potential Honorary Chairs for the Conference, there was consensus that
CMF should recognize an Island family. While many families have played an important
role, Dan and Amelia Musser, owners of the Grand Hotel, are the first choice of everyone
we have talked to. An invitation has been extended to them.
We are excited to share that our first plenary speaker, Susan Stamberg, special
correspondent from NPR, is confirmed. Enclosed is background information on Susan.
Invitations have also been extended to Ken Bums and Fred Rogers to be our other two
plenary speakers.
The Program Committee will be having its first meeting on February 18 to discuss the
theme and sessions for the Conference. We will be meeting at the Collaborative Center
of the Michigan Virtual University in East Lansing and look forward to reporting on the
results of this meeting. Because of the layout of the Grand Hotel, we will only be
offering 18 concurrent sessions, instead of the nomml 36. The Committee is being
charged with designing two simulation sessions and a session for experienced
grantmakers as well.
Wes Mauer, Trustees of the Mackinac Island Community Foundation, has agreed to serve
as Co-Chair of the Host Committee. The Committee will convene for its first meeting in
March.
Hotel space at the Grand Hotel is limited on Saturday evening so it will be important to
let CMF know if you plan on arriving on Saturday or Sunday.

Memo To:

C. David Campbell, Chairman and
Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Vicki Rosenberg, Vice President &amp; Chief Operating Officer

Re:

Diversity Statement

RESOLVED that the Council of Michigan Foundations adopt this value statement
on diversity and inclusion:
"We strive to model and promote diversity and inclusion as a means to strengthen
the work of grantmakers. We do so by working to create an environment in which
men and women from different national origins, ethnicities, races, and cultures, of
different generations, religions, economic backgrounds, and sexual orientations, and
with different skills, abilities, lifestyles, and beliefs are respected, valued, and
encouraged to participate. We seek to understand, represent, and share the range
of philanthropic perspectives held and traditions followed by our members. And,
we actively attempt to serve a diverse membership, be governed by a diverse Board
of Trustees, and to attract and retain diverse staff members.
We encourage members to join with us by developing their own commitment to
diversity and inclusion for the future of philanthropy in Michigan."
Background
At the May 2001 Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees reviewed and endorsed a draft
values statement for CMF and discussed the best way to include its commitment to
diversity and inclusion. The Board of Trustees asked staff to develop background
materials for Board review at the October 2, 2001 Special Board Meeting.
On October 2, Bob Tobin of the William Group facilitated a Board discuss ion about
diversity and inclusion and shared sample statements identified by staff as most closely
matching the intentions discussed at the May 2001 meeting. Trustees identified key
elements and asked staff to develop these elements into a draft statement for review at the
October 3 1, 200 1 Board Meeting.
At the October 31, 2001 Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees reviewed the resulting
draft statement and made several suggestions for wording that would clarify CMF's
purpose in having such a value statement.
On December 5, 200 1, the Long-Range Planning Committee reviewed and endorsed the
revised statement reflecting the Trustees suggestions from October 31.

Memo to:

CM.F Board of Trustees

From:

David R. Lindberg

RE:

CM.F &amp; Supporting Organizations 12-31-01 Financial Statements

Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees approve the internal financial report for
the nine month period ending December 31, 2001, as recommended by the Audit &amp;
Finance Committee.
Enclosed is the December 31,2001 financial report for the Council of Michigan Foundations
and its supporting organizations, which has been reviewed by the Audit &amp; Finance
Committee.
As you review the attached CM.F Core Operations Internal Statement of Activities you will
note that a deficit of $58,000 is projected for the 2001-02 fiscal year. This is due to the
following reasons.
Delay in iMIS database u grade, originally budgeted for the previous year
Projected deficit Annual Conference

$30,000
$40,000

Core Operations
Note 1: Member &amp; Additional Contributions
Based on receipts through December 31, 2001, it appears both regular and additional member
contributions will total $957,000, versus a budget of $965,000.

Note 2: Conference Income &amp; Expenses
Based on the latest financial results it appears the Annual Conference will result in a deficit
of $40,000, which is down from the estimated $50,000 - $70,000 loss report at the October
CM.F Board meeting. Management was able to reduce the deficit by instituting cost savings
when it appeared the overall attendance would be down from previous years.

Note 3: Publication Income
The variance from budget is the result of Directmy sales falling off sooner than anticipated.
Ads have been placed in Michigan Nonprofit Association's monthly newsletter, which should
boost sales between now and the end of the year. Inventory at the end of December was as
follows:
Books- 874 (started with 2,500)
CD's - 157 (started with 1,000)
Based on the latest projected sales for the Directory it appears we should still turn a slight
profit on the 12th Edition.
Note 4: Investment Income
The variance from budget is the result of money market rates falling into the 2% range, which
is 60% below last year's rates (all operating funds are invested in money market accounts).
This reduction should result in a $45,000 budget variance.
Note 5: Salaries
The projected variance from budget is primarily due to a budgeted support position that will
not be filled and the Assistant VP for Corporate &amp; Educational Services position that was
vacated in November. Through restructuring of staff duties, services provided by the VP
have been reallocated to other staff.
Note 6: Computer
Due to the delay in upgrading the iMIS software (membership &amp; meeting database) last year,
$21,000 in expenses that were budgeted for 2000-01 , have hit our current fiscal year, with
another $15,000 projected by the end of the year. This should result in 2001-02 being over
budget by $36,000. Currently $45,000 that was budgeted for 2001-02 to purchase an on-line
registration module for iMIS, is being used to purchase Citrix software and equipment that
will allow staff remote access to their desktop computers.
Note 7: Travel
The variance from budget is primarily due to the increase in air travel and fuel costs
experienced this year.

Memo to:

CMF Board of Trustees

From:

Herbert (Ted) D. Doan, Trustee

Re:

CMF 12-31-01 Investment Report

Resolved: That the CMF Board of Trustees accept the December 31,2001
I nvestment Report.
On a quarterly basis, the combined Investment Committee for the Council of Michigan
Foundations (CMF), Michigan Community Foundations' Venture (MCFV) and the
Michigan AIDS Fund (MAF), meet to review the investment performance for the
operating and permanent endowment funds. The information contained in this section
was reviewed by the Investment Comntittee on February 6, 2002.
The enclosed Investment Report has been broken down into three sections.
I nvestment Performance Report
The benchmark is based on the targeted asset allocation formula listed below.
S&amp;P 500
S&amp;P 400
S&amp;P 600

On November 19, 2001, the Investment Committee met with the current investment
managers (Bank One and Comerica) to discuss the current 14% international equities
asset allocation and options regarding an appropriate benchmark.
After discussing the 14% international equity allocation with those managers, the
committee decided to remain at the current allocation. This decision was primarily
driven by the fact that 14% seems to be in the range of what other foundations are doing
and after an extended period of negative returns in the international market this is
typically when committees reallocate their investments, only to see the market turn
around shortly thereafter.

�2

During several meetings the committee has been discussing options for the appropriate
benchmarks to use. In the past, the benchmark was based on the various indexes (S&amp;P
500, 600, etc.). After discussing this issue with Bank One and Comerica, the committee
decided a more appropriate benchmark would be comparing the CMF endowment funds
to active investment manager returns. Comerica is now providing the Lipper returns for
the following categories.
Lipper Large Cap Core
Lipper Mid Cap Core
Lipper Small Cap Core
Lipper International
Lipper Corporate Debt A Rated Fixed Income
Asset Allocation Report

The Investment Committee has approved an asset allocation re-balancing policy that
instructs the CMF VP of Finance to rebalance the endowment fund portfolios on a
quarterly basis.
To keep administrative time to a minimum CMF maintains one checking account to pay
all endowment fund expenses. The negative cash balances are due to endowment fund
expenditures from the CMF checking account, which are periodically reimbursed by
transferring cash from the endowment funds back to CMF.
Investment Performance Comparison Report

One of the benchmarks the Investment Committee has been tracking is the Cambridge
Associates, Inc. pool of colleges, universities, and foundations. Since the release of this
quarterly report typically lags the end of our quarter, by two to three months, the latest
comparative numbers available are September 30, 2001 .
The variances from the Cambridge actual one-year rate of returns, are primarily due to
the returns in the venture capital and private equity market, which are categories not
allowed under our current investment policy. You will note that, over a three-year
period, the endowment funds that have been fully-invested during this period track
relatively close to the Cambridge pool.
During the February 6, 2002 meeting the committee discussed an alternative investment
product (fund of funds) that Vanguard will be rolling out in the next few months. The
committee will be studying this product carefully to determine if this might be an
appropriate diversification tool.

From:

Libby Maynard and David Kennedy, Co-Chairs,
Government Relations Committee

Re:

Government Relations Committee Report

Annual Capitol Hill Visit
I am pleased to report that 19 staff and trustees from 13 CMF members joined with CMF
stafffor the Annual Capitol Hill Visit on January 29 and 30. In spite of the State of the
Union Speech, a House Republican Retreat, and Senate Democratic Policy Seminar, we
were successful in meeting personally with nine Congressional Members and both
Senators as well as the staff from the other seven Members. Our thanks to CMF Trustee
Martin Taylor and DTE Energy for again hosting the Capitol Hill Dinner.
The two legislative priorities we discussed included the IRA Charitable Rollover and
Simplification ofthe Excise Tax on Private Foundations to One Percent. Both of these
priorities were passed by the House as part of HR 7 ands are included in a Senate Bill that
should be introduced shortly by Senators Liebennan and Santorum. President Bush has
also included these priorities in his Budget. These two priorities are supported by the
Members of Michigan's Congressional delegation. Senators Levin and Stabenow
indicated they would let their colleagues know about the importance of the new Senate
Bill. The two priorities are summarized in the attached issues sheets.
In addition, each Member was provided with a packet, including a listing of the
foundations in their Districts, schools in their Districts using the Learning to Give lesson
plans, and fact sheets on both the Tobacco Settlement Partnership and Michigan IDA
Partnership.
State Bi-Partisan Philanthropy Caucus
The attached one page draft has been prepared to sununarize the value of creating a State
Bi-Partisan Philanthropy Caucus. Our consultant David Haynes of Public Affairs
Associates has approved this draft. He has identified Senator Bob Emerson from Flint,
Senator Ken Sikkema from Grandville, Representative Marc Shulman from West
Bloomfield and Representative Bill McConico from Detroit as the potential Caucus
leaders.
Rob Collier is now meeting with these four individuals as well as Speaker Johnson and
Senate Majority Leader DeGrow to discuss the concept and the goal of having the first
meeting in May before the election season enters high gear.

Government Relations Committee Report
January 7, 2002

CMF's Public Policy Committee
Co-Chairs Dave Egner from the Hudson-Weber Foundation, Karla Hall from DTE
Energy and Susan Broman from Steelcase, convened the first in-person meeting of the
Public Policy C01mnittee on January 18. The Committee has identified five issues for
further research and consideration by the Annual Conference Program Committee as
session topics: TANF Reauthorization, Safety Net, K-12 Education, Access to Health
Care, and Land-Use.
In addition, Pat Babcock from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has volunteered to a..'&gt;sist the
Committee in developing a Public Policy I 01 Educational Campaign to help staff and
trustees of Michigan foundations better understand the importance of public policy to
philanthropy. This Educational Campaign could include: articles in The Michigan Scene
and Memo to Members as well as special workshops.
Public Policy and Charitable Giving
Elan Garonzik from the Mott Foundation, Charles Janssen from the Capital Region
Community Foundation, and Pat Babcock from the W.K Kellogg Foundation joined Rob
in presenting an Issues in Brief Session with the M ichigan Public Policy Institute, on
December 3, for 40 legislative staff members at the Capitol. The Session covered
grantmaking priorities and patterns as well as experiences working with government to
serve Michigan communities.
Annual Giving and Volunteering Report
Rob Collier participated in a news conference on November 15, National Philanthropy
Day, with Sam Singh from the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Kyle Caldwell from the
Michigan Community Services Commission and Professor Mark Wilson from Michigan
State University to discuss the preliminary findings from the Annual Giving and
Volunteering Survey conducted in September and October 2001.
The Survey confirms that almost 90% of Michigan adults made a charitable contribution
during the past year and that 63% of Michigan residents plan to give the same amount in
2002. CMF is co-sponsoring printing of the full report scheduled for distribution to the
Legislature and public in March.

�Excise Tax on Private Foundations
Position. The Council of Michigan Foundations joins the Council on Foundations in
supporting simplification to one percent of the excise tax on private foundation
investment income.
Background. Private foundations generally are subject to a 2 percent excise tax on
their net investment income. The tax is 1 percent in any year in which the
foundation's percentage of distributions for charitable purposes generally exceeds
the average percentage of its distributions over the five preceding taxable years.
Private non-operating foundations generally must make annual distributions for
charitable purposes equal to roughly 5 percent of the fair market value of the
foundation's endowment assets. The excise tax paid-$500 million in 1999-acts as
a credit in reducing the 5 percent requirement.
Because the tax paid qualifies as a credit toward the minimum distribution, it is
estimated that simplifying the tax would automatically result in an additional $200
plus million in qualifying distributions per year, about 90 percent of which typically go
to grants, according to IRS estimates. The revenue raised by simplifying the tax
would still more than cover its intended purpose: to cover costs of IRS oversight of
exempt organizations. The fiscal 2001 budget of the Service's exempt-organization
division is $58 million.
Under the current two-tiered structure, a foundation is penalized for making a
substantial increase in its charitable spending. Many foundations set spending
policies of 5 percent to 6 percent to preserve the long-term value of their
endowments. A significant increase in one year (while making them eligible for the 1
percent rate for that year) will increase thei r five-year average spending percentage
to a level they are not willing to maintain. As a result, for the next five years, their tax
rate doubles to 2 percent.
The Joint Committee on Taxation staff has recommended repeal of the tax. In an
April 2001 report ("Study of the Overall State of the Federal Tax System and
Recommendations for Simplification ," JCS-3-01, Volume 2, pp. 456-459), the JCT
concluded that the tax should be eliminated because of its complexity. Repeal, the
report noted, "would relieve private foundations of having to make the necessary
calculations of net investment income, file estimated tax returns, and consider the
optimal level of charitable activity in terms of the rate of tax."
Status. While both the House and Senate have introduced bills to repeal the excise
tax, H.R. 7, the Community Solutions Act, which passed the House in 2001, provides
for simplification and reduction of the excise tax to one percent. Senators Santorum
(R-PA) and Lieberman are considering this provision as part of a new charitable
giving bill. The Joint Committee on Taxation has estimated the total cost of this
change at $2.17 billion over 10 years.

�IRA Charitable Rollover
Position. The Council of Michigan Foundations joins the Council on Foundations
supporting legislation that would allow taxpayers to make contributions directly to
charity from their IRA and other tax-deferred retirement assets without incurring
tax liability.
Background. Because of the stock market boom of the 1990s, many Americans
have unexpectedly large Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), some in seven
figures. Many taxpayers have growing interest in giving IRA assets to community
foundations, private foundations, local charities, or creating deferred gifts such as
charitable remainder trusts that later benefit charitable organizations.
Under current law, any tax-deferred distribution is fully taxable as income. For
donors interested in relatively small charitable contributions, the tax effect should
be no problem-the IRA disbursement comes out and is added to the donor's
taxable income but is then deducted from income when the gift is made. But two
barriers in the tax code can thwart (or penalize) a donor making large gifts:
Percentage Limitations: In any year, donors may not deduct more than
50 percent of their income for gifts of cash to public charities (30 percent if
to private foundations).
Three-percent Floor: Higher income taxpayers may run into a provision
that reduces their itemized deductions by up to 3 percent, subject to an
overall limit that deductions cannot be reduced below 80 percent of the
original amount. A large gift from an IRA can increase a taxpayer's income
to the point where this 3 percent reduction applies.
Legislative History. In 2001, Representative Phil Crane (R-IL) and Senator Kay
Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) introduced companion bills (H.R. 774 and S. 205
respectively) that would allow IRA owners over age 59~ to make tax-free
distributions directly to a qualified charity or a qualifying deferred giving plan,
such as a charitable remainder trust, pooled income fund or charitable gift
annuity. President Bush has indicated his continuing support of this provision.
Current Status. A version of these bills was included in H.R. 7, the Community
Solutions Act, which passed the House in July 2001. H.R. 7 would allow both
outright and deferred gifts, beginning at age 70 ~. The Joint Committee on
Taxation has estimated the total cost of this version at $2.75 billion over ten
years. IRA Charitable Rollover was also i.ncluded in S. 592, the Savings
Opportunity and Charitable Giving Act of 2001, sponsored by Senators Santorum
(R-PA) and Lieberman (O-CT). The Senate has not acted on this proposal.

�DRAFT
A Bi-Partisan State Legislative Philanthropy Caucus
Despite the continued growth of charitable foundations in Michigan, organized
giving is being challenged by issues, such as:
• corporate mergers,
• increased sale of family owned businesses,
• growing geographic dispersion of family members around the U.S.,
• for-profit firms, such as Fidel ity, now distributing grantmaking assets, and
• unfamiliarity and hence unrealistic expectations on the part of new
policymakers.
A State Legislative Philanthropy Caucus could help to address these issues by:
• helping to inform colleagues about the roles that foundations play,
• hosting periodic briefings on foundations for state officials,
• suppm1ing periodic meetings for foundations on state issues, and
• working with the Council ofMichigan Foundations on efforts to promote
and increase philanthropy in Michigan.
Since 1973 the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) has worked to increase,
improve and enhance philanthropy in Michigan. With more than 490 independent,
family community and corporate foundations and giving programs as members,
CMF is the largest regional association of grantmakers in the U.S.
CMF has worked closely with the State Legislatw·e and Governor since the late
1980s on projects such as the Exon Energy Settlement, the Michigan AIDS Fund,
the Michigan IDA Partnership, the Tobacco Settlement Partnership, and the growth
of community foundations to serve every county. The growth of community
foundations has been aided by the permanent State Community Foundation Tax
Credit for individuals, families and corporations paying the Single Business Taxthe first such tax credits in the country.
Michigan ranks fourth in the nation in terms of organized philanthropy. More than
1,800 foundations and giving programs have assets that exceed $22 billion and
annual grants toping $1.2 billion. These foundations are vital partners to the 16,000
plus charitable nonprofit organizations that employ more than 300,000 Michigan
residents. Because fifty percent ofthese assets are held by the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, C.S. Mott Foundation and Kresge Foundation- that have national and
international grantmaking programs, the vast majority of these are small family
foundations with assets of less than one million dollars each.
T he creation of foundations will likely continue, due in part to the largest
intergenerational transfer of wealth ever now underway, and a legislative and
regulatory climate that encourages giving. A State Philanthropy Caucus can play a
leadership role in insuring that this is the case.

Re:

February 2002 Learning to Give Update

The Learning to Give (LTG) initiative continues to enjoy success and rapid
development on many fronts. Steady requests for information and assistance in
bringing LTG to local communities are now being received. The Steering
Committee meets again in early May. A summary of the progress follows.
Financial Support
Grants Received
Michigan Community Service Commission
$27,000 Renewable
To support a Learning to Give consultant at the Muskegon Area
Intermediate School District (MAISD). Goal: to involve every child in every
school in Muskegon County in service-learning and LTG each year over
three years. Also, to model how an lSD can integrate LTG and servicelearning into their core technical assistance to school districts.
Muskegon Rotary Club
$ 5,000 Renewable
A companion grant in support of a Learning to Give consultant at the
MAISD. This is our first support from a local Rotary Club. Rotary
International has told us we will need to be: 1) supported by local Rotary
Clubs and 2) international in reach, before they would consider
sponsorship support. This grant is step one.
Community Foundation for Muskegon County
All Renewable
$10,000 Youth Advisory Committee
$ 5,000 Women and Children's Fund
$12,000 Unrestricted Fund
Companion grants to the MAISD partnership. Of particular note is the gift
from the Youth Advisory Committee that pays for classroom teachers to
teach philanthropy to students in the county! (This makes us smile!).
Muskegon Area Intermediate School District
lnkind
The MAISD has committed substantial inkind support to the Muskegon
partnership, including: an office, telephone, and all equipment; training

�2

space; marketing of teacher professional development opportunities; and
long-term planning to include technical support for LTG in the core
services of the District at the end of the three year development effort. In
addition, they have offered to open a door to their colleagues in other
IS D's regarding the success of this model.
Michigan Women's Foundation
$5,000 Renewable
A mini-grant to support the development of units and teaching materials
that describe how women, over time, have used the nonprofit sector as
an alternative power structure in American society.
Lilly Endowment
$24,000
(Metropolitan School District of Warren Township)
Warren Public Schools, suburban Indianapolis, has written LTG into their
school improvement plan- funded as part of a major education initiative of
the Lilly Endowment. We expect to begin work there in the fall of 2002.
Federal Funds
As a result of CMF's efforts on behalf of LTG the new federal education bill
includes the word "giving" under the definition of Character Education. These
funds will be available to the states as "block grants". We are working to
determine a state by state strategy to access the Character Education funds for
Learning to Give in each of our projected partner states. Rob Collier has met
with the Department of Education in order to determine the next steps. A federal
Request for Proposals will be sent to state departments of education in March for
an April reply. Target states are: Michigan, California, Indiana, Texas, and Ohio.

There is some possibility to access technical assistance funds. This is also being
pursued with a brief concept paper regarding how LTG might assist Character
Education programs in teaching "giving".
Other Grants
The Atlantic Philanthropies-application has been submitted, we are waiting for a
decision.

The Corporation for National Service has been approached by Dottie Johnson
regarding a potential demonstration project on how LTG can support the goals of
the new Freedom Corps. This is a very preliminary conversation at this time.
A template for funding proposals to potential partners in each of the target states
is completed. In addition a template has been developed to use in cities or
regions that approach us regarding bringing LTG to their schools. These
proposals will be sent to foundations that have contacted us from Kansas City,
St. Louis, Appleton, and northern Indiana.

A second gift from Barclay Palmer, individual donor, is expected for $25,000 to
support the LTG partnership with the Center for Partnership Studies-an
educational group working to develop editing tools around language and equity.
Michigan Community Service Commission- Pending $27,000 to support the
development of performing arts lessons that include service-learning and teach
Learning to Give lessons is in the final approval stages. This effort is in
partnership with Grand Valley State University and Muskegon Community
College.
Pre-proposal discussions are underway with the A.T. and T. Foundation, the
Fremont Area Community Foundation, and the Ford Foundation. Other options
are also under consideration.

The Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan is working with LTG on a
model to bring LTG to Chelsea Public Schools and to integrate the Chelsea Fund
youth advisory committee tasks into this model. This will be the first model that
brings the YAC of a community foundation and LTG directly together.
Grants Ending
Three -year grants that were completed December 31 , 2001 are:
• The McGregor Fund
• The Atlantic Philanthropies
• The Ford Foundation
• The Lilly Endowment (first grant)
National Content Advisory Committee (NCAC)
The NCAC met in October at The Fetzer Institute's "Seasons" Retreat to review
the LTG Themes. A solid discussion resulted in agreements to strengthen the
volunteer component of the themes; to develop government service as an
important sub-component; and participants agreed to areas where they might
assist LTG through the writing of scholarly papers or making presentations. Dr.
Robert Bremner, Ohio State University, has already submitted his paper for our
review and use. The group meets again in October 2002.
Standardized Tests
Test questions for standardized tests at grades 5, 8, and 11 have been
completed and reviewed by the Fairness Committee. We are pushing to put the
questions, and sample tests, on the Web by late spring.
Units and Lessons
Editing, fairness review, field-testing, and placement on the web continues for the
lessons. A total of 338 lessons are on the Web-site. One hundred and twenty
more will be added over the next few months. A number of the units written
during the summer of 2001 deal with issues of tolerance and diversity. These

�4

units have become especially important following the September attacks on the
United States. They were reviewed for fairness in January and will go on the
Web this spring. A Muslim representative has volunteered to serve on the
Fairness Committee, rounding out our cultural representation.
Field-Testing
Of the 338 lesson plans currently on the Web, 108 have completed their field-test
reviews. That means that they have been taught and formally evaluated, in
writing, by at least five classroom teachers and are considered completed.
Pilot Schools
The thirty pilot school buildings help to develop the standardized tests, and to
begin to measure outcomes. Our special thanks to Gerald Smith, and to the
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan and I.U. intern, Colleen
Peters, for helping in recruiting a Detroit Public Schools cluster to participate in
the pilot program. The school districts involved provided at the end of this report.
Initial Evaluation Data
While this period has been one of collecting data, rather than reporting, some
preliminary numbers from teachers who piloted lessons in the fall of 2001 have
been extremely positive. By June, teachers from all thirty schools will be
reporting.
Number of K-12 school students included: 2,621 from 12 schools
Mastered+ (grade A equivalent)= 1,439 students
Mastered= (grade B equivalent)= 808 students
Adequate (grade C equivalent)=
300 students
Partial
(grade D equivalent)=
75 students
86% of the students involved in these pilot schools completely mastered or
exceeded the philanthropy education objectives.
98% of the students adequately mastered or exceeded the philanthropy
education objectives.
Tea c her Professional Development
Summer institutes for new Teacher-Consultants are planned for:

In addition, a youth coalition in New Hampshire has scheduled in-service days for
LTG on March 151h and June 251h. They are using New Venture funds from the
New Hampshire Charitable Trust to brinQI LTG to their area.

Staff In-service Workshops
Teachers at each of the thirty pilot schools have participated in in-service
workshops. Approximately, 212 active pilot teachers have been involved in these
in-service experiences.
Congressional District Coverage
In preparing packets for the CMF visits to Congress, LTG was pleased to note
that there are now a number of teachers using the LTG lessons in every
Congressional District in Michigan.
Ferris State University Masters Degree in Education
with a Concentration in Philanthropic Studies
The new 36-hour Masters Degree in Education with a concentration in
philanthropic studies is in the final approval process. Thirteen hours will be
provided as online courses by Ferris State University. Six hours will be provided
online in partnership with the Indiana Center on Philanthropy. Twelve hours will
be provided by Learning to Give in two summer residential seminars. In addition,
six hours will be provided in philanthropy online from Learning to Give. Ferris
State University will purchase the LTG sponsored components, providing a small
funding stream to LTG. In addition to the Masters Degree, Ferris is also offering
two certificate programs-one for teachers who already hold Masters Degrees
and one for program officers of foundations and/or youth workers.
If approved by the Ferris State University Board this spring, the first online
Education courses will be available in the summer of 2002. The first residential
seminar will be offered in Grand Rapids by LTG, July 28-August 61h.
Web-site and Teacher Materials
Web-Site
A change in the leadership at Michigan State Universities' Department of
Computers and Technology occurred over the holiday. We have met with the
new Director. MSU has expressed interest in providing a formal proposal for the
revision of the Web-site. These revisions will depend upon further funding.
High School Textbook Supplement, Teacher Guide, Student Guide
The Indiana University Center on Philanthropy has offered to write the high
school textbook supplement, CD-ROM and student/teacher guides for the
$100,000 grant provided by the Charles Stewart Matt Foundation. Their inkind
contributions will make up the matching portion. Work on the textbook has
begun. We are meeting with a potentia1
l e-publisher in mid-February. Royalties
from the textbook supplements may be another small earned income revenue
stream.
Briefing Papers
Twenty new briefing papers have been added to the Web-site in January.
Bringing the total to 48. Thanks to I.U. Center on Philanthropy, and graduate

�6

students from the Mandel Center at Case Western Reserve for their continued
writing and donation of the briefing papers.
LTG Video Interview with Harold Bloom
LTG has scheduled an interview in March, and has permission to video-tape,
Harold Bloom in New York discussing the relationship of LTG content to
Shakespeare. This is the next step in moving the content into English language
arts.

Marketing and Public Relations
Meeting with Tom Watkins, Michigan Superintendent of Schools
LTG representatives met with Tom Watkins and his staff to discuss support from
the Michigan Department of Education for Learning to Give and service-learning.
Among the discussion items was the suggestion for a formal resolution of support
from the Michigan Board of Education and to pursue the Character Education
funds for LTG in Michigan.
Newsletter and Publications/Television Coverage
The fall newsletter was distributed to almost 10,000 individuals nationwide. The
LTG introductory brochure was updated and reprinted. The 2002 Summer
Institute brochures for Michigan and Ohio have been updated and printed, as
well as preliminary materials for the Ferris Masters and the summer arts institute.
Mary Petro's first grade class at Open School, Albion Public Schools, was
featured on Kalamazoo Television at the holidays. They were making out
"charity checks" to local nonprofit organizations after having researched the local
charities as a part of their LTG lesson.
McGregor Foundation Sponsored Family Involvement Booklets
Booklets advising on strategies for family involvement in education have been
written for: 1) program officers of foundations; 2) parents; and 3) educators.
These three companion publications will be printed and ready for distribution by
our May meeting. They will be used as the basis for continued in-service
experiences in our Detroit area, and other school districts.
Our consultant, Dr. Amy Colton, is currently involved in consulting work with the
Michigan Department of Education and is using her research for Learning to Give
as a part of the background material for the Michigan State Board's parent
involvement initiative.
Potential PBS Partnership
Initial conversations have begun regarding a potential partnership between
Learning to Give and public broadcasting. PBS is interested in high quality civil
society content-particularly in children's programming. LTG could benefit from
the national and grass-roots media "reach" of PBS.

Memo to:

C. David Campbell, Chairman, and Members of the Board of Trustees

From:

Rob Collier, President

Re:

Membership D ues Increase

T he following resolution is presented for your review and action at the Februaty 19, 2002 Board
Meeting. As noted below, it has been reviewed and approved for presentation to the full Board by
both the Executive Conm1ittee and Audit &amp; F inance Committee.

RESOLVED that the membership dues structure be adjusted for the fiscal year starting
Aprilt, 2003 in accordance with the following steps as reviewed and approved by the
Audit &amp; Finance and Executive Committees:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Increase asset categories for foundations from 15 to 21 ,
Increase dues by 20%,
Establish a minimum dues of $300 for the asset category of less than $500,000,
Increase community foundation affiliate rate to $300 as well,
E sta blish dues of $500 for the asset category of $500,000 to $1,000,000,
Adjust Corporate Giving Programs categories, based on grants paid, to match
foundation categories, which a re based on asset levels, using a 5% payout.

Background
The need for a dues increase has been examined by the Membership Committee and the Audit &amp;
Finance Committee, as part ofthe Strategic P lanning Process. Below is a brief summary of the
process that took place in arriving at the proposed dues adjustments, which are recommended to go
into effect in 2003-04.

In developing the proposed revision to the dues structure, management focused on the following
ISSUes:

•
•
•
•

A structure that is fair and equitable for all members.
A structure which keeps pace with inflation, based on anticipated investment growth of
existing members' assets.
Sufficient revenue to support priority services identified by members and not require special
fundraising annually to support ongoing services.
Building a reserve sufficient to cover six months worth of operating expenses.

In projecting dues revenues for 2003-04, a loss of 40 members (or $50,000 per year) is projected
due to the recommended increase. In addition a loss of 50 members, that are at least two years
delinquent on dues, is planned.

Recommendations from the 11-28-01 meeting:
Minimum dues:
• $150 category would be raised to $360 for fiscal year 2002-03
• In 2003-04 the increase in the $150 category would be completed by raising this group from
$360 to $500
• Foundations currently in the $360 category would be raised to $500 for fiscal year 2002-03
Revised dues structure:
• Look at expanding the current number of fifteen categories
• Present management recommendations for the January 17, 2002 budget meeting on a dues
increase for 2003-04
Group Rates:
• Eliminate group rates
Fees for Services:
• Base on actual staff salaries and benefits, plus a profit margin and overhead rate, taking into
account what for-profit firms charge
Management's Recommended Plan
Based on the input received from the various committees and Board of Trustees' involvement in
the Strategic Planning Process, management is proposing the following adjustments to the current
dues structure:
Minimum Asset Categories
• No increases for 2002-03
Old Catetw rv
Under $200,000
$200,000 to $1 million

•
•

Rate- 2002-03
$1 50
$360

New Cate1!0rv
Under $500,000
$500,000 to $ 1 million

Rate 2003-04
$300
$500

Keep the under $500,000 category at $300 to match the rate being offered by the
Association of Small Foundations. Currently there are 78 members in this category.
Raise the $500,000 to $1 million category to $500. Currently there are 39 members in this
category.

Dues Increase and Expanding Categories
• Implement a 20% dues increase for all categories greater than $500 and less than $70,000
for 2003-04, which would generate an additional $188,370 annually.
• A prime reason for the proposed increase is that the accumulated inflation factor over the
past six years has totaled 18%-20%.
• The proposed increase should allow CMF to meet its goal of an annual break-even budget
while at the same time keeping dues constant for the next 4 years.
• Expanding the categories from 15 to 2 1 will assist in keeping dues current with the
anticipated annual growth in inflation. This is based on a projected investment growth of
our members' assets (see following page).

Community Foundation Affiliate Membership
Starting in 2002-03 only affiliates that participated in the Kellogg Youth Challenge are eligible for
separate membership status. Affiliates currently pay annual dues of$150. Those who do not
qualify for separate membership will have their assets rolled into the total assets of the lead
foundation for calculating dues. Affiliate membership will increase from $150 to $300 starting in
2003-04. The lead foundation can pay these dues as a grant expense from the Youth Endowment
Fund.
Corporate Giving Programs
Corporate Giving Program dues are based on the level of grantmaking. Dues categories have been
revised to correspond to the proposed rates for foundations, based on a 5% spending policy. An
example is that the $1 - $2 million asset category for foundations would equal the $50,000 $100,000 grants category for corporate giving programs. It is recommended that the top category
be capped at $1 million + in grants. There are currently eight categories of $2.5 million and
greater, with no corporate giving program members falling in this range.
